Steve Noble is London’s leading drummer, a fearless and constantly inventive improviser whose super-precise, ultra-propulsive and hyper-detailed playing has galvanized encounters with Derek Bailey, Matthew Shipp, Ishmael Wadada Leo Smith, Stephen O’Malley, Joe McPhee, Alex Ward, Rhodri Davies and many, many more.

In the early eighties, Noble played with the Nigerian master drummer Elkan Ogunde, Rip Rig and Panic, Brion Gysin and the Bow Gamelan Ensemble, before going on to work with the pianist Alex Maguire and with Derek Bailey (including Company Weeks 1987, 89 and 90).

““A counterculture history of art and experimental politics that turns the world inside out

The Way Out examines the radical political and hedonist imaginaries of the experimental fringes of the UK Underground from 1961 to 1991. By examining the relations between collective and collaborative practices with an explicit agenda of cultural revolution, Kasper Opstrup charts a hidden history of experiments with cultural engineering, expanding current discussions of art, medias, politics, radical education and the occult revival. Even though the theatres of operation have changed with the rise of the Internet and a globalised finance economy, these imaginaries still raise questions that speak directly to the present.

Here we encounter a series of figures – including Alexander Trocchi, R. D. Laing, Joseph Berke, Brion Gysin, William Burroughs and Genesis P-Orridge – that blurred the lines between inner and outer, the invisible and the material. Four singular forms of speculative techniques for igniting an invisible insurrection with cultural means make up the central case studies: the sigma project, London Anti-University, Academy 23 and thee Temple ov Psychick Youth.

Contained within these imaginaries is a new type of action university: a communal affair that would improvise a new type of social relation into existence by de-programming and de-conditioning us without any blueprints for the future besides to make it happen. Instead of being turned upside down, the world was to be changed from the inside out.””

L’exposition L’empire de l’#encre, #calligraphies contemporaines japonaises, accueille les nouvelles créations de calligraphie contemporaine japonaise de la fondation Mainichi Shodokai, réalisées spécifiquement pour cette occasion. Pour la première fois seront mises en regard les oeuvres, conservées dans les collections nationales françaises, de quelques artistes européens influencés par la calligraphie japonaise dont Henri Michaux et Brion Gysin.

Héritier de la calligraphie chinoise introduite au Japon au Ve siècle, le Shodo (voie calligraphique) est considéré comme l’un des plus prestigieux arts visuels. Il occupe une place fondamentale dans l’histoire de l’art du Japon, où la peinture, fille de la calligraphie, exige la même maîtrise du trait et exalte l’espace.
